post/bidspotter/v1/search1 credit

Search lots across every BidSpotter auction by keyword (forklift, cnc lathe, john deere …), narrowed by country, state, auction type, auctioneer, category or brand. Each row is a lot with its auction and auctioneer, prices, current bid, bid count and closing time, with the site's own total. Matching is the site's (fuzzy: forklift also finds fork lift / lift truck).

Working example
Parameters

Words to search lot titles and descriptions for.

Which BidSpotter marketplace. bidspotter.com and bidspotter.co.uk list different auctions.

Lot country, by name (facets: countries).

Lot state / county, by name (facets: states).

Only timed or only webcast lots.

Auctioneer by its exact name (facets: auctioneers).

Lot category code (facets: categories).

Top category code (facets: master_categories).

Brand, as the site lists it (facets: brands).

Order: relevance (default), auction_date, auction_house, newest.

Page, from 1. (1–500)

Read the live bid state (current bid, bid count, next minimum bid, reserve met, closing time) from the site's bid service: one extra small request. false = only what the page itself carries (no bid counts).

Also return the site's filter values with counts (auctioneers, countries, states, categories …) — use them as filter values.

What you can run here, without an account

ReefAPI is one HTTP gateway to 632 live web-data APIs covering 3860 endpoints across 13 categories. Every endpoint answers with the same JSON envelope, so one integration reaches all of them. Each response reports what it cost and when the source was read.

No signup, no API key and no card are required to try an endpoint on this page. Anonymous calls run on a shared demo key, capped at 15 calls per hour per visitor. Pick an API, fill the parameters and the real response comes back from the live source, not from a canned sample. A free account lifts the cap and gives you 1,000 credits and your own key.

Browse every API in the catalog, read an endpoint's fields and example response in the docs, or see per-call credit costs on the pricing page.
